Spoilers: Another time and another place, four mysterious beings use portals to transport mutants around the world – or indeed the galaxy. They resemble Egyptian gods and Greek myth and conjure their own sigils. They say that the death of a star is a small price to pay for the favor of Saturnyne.
Meanwhile in Otherworld, Saturyne draws the tarot. Her predecessors Merlin and Roma preferred to play chess. She deals the cards:
- Judgment – Apocalypse staring into the abyss together with the High Summoner.
- Four of Wands – The original four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
- The Hanged Man – Apocalypse, Beast, Havok, Rictor, Glob, Trinary, Banshee, Archangel and Polaris.
- Eight of Cups – A mysterious woman.
- Ten of Swords – Apocalypse, Cable, Wolverine, Magik and Captain Britain (Betsy Braddock). The shadowy figures might be Gorgon, Storm, Cypher, Magneto and Scalphunter.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.
